ink demon

Intro throughout audio logs, the Ink Demon was the first creation of the Ink Machine. The Ink Machine itself was created during the production of Bendyland, an amusement park themed around Joey Drew's creations, such as Alice Angel, Boris the Wolf, and Bendy himself. As bankruptcy threatened the company, Joey opted to literally bring his cartoon characters to life as living attractions for Bendyland, hiring the mysterious Gent company to create the Ink Machine. With the help of Thomas Connor, Joey ran film reel of the cartoons through the machine to bring the cartoons to life. The Ink Demon was the first attempt of the Ink Machine, but came out mutilated, more akin to a limping corpse than anything resembling the cartoon character. Because of this, Connor and the rest of the Gent company would not try to make more copies of Bendy. The Ink Demon was hidden in the basements of the studio, being considered unworldly by Connor, and being despised by Joey Drew. Eventually, Connor realized that the failure of their attempts at cartoon characters were a result of lacking a soul, hence the deformed nature of the demon. The unempathetic Drew then opted to sacrifice his workers to the machine to create better cartoon characters, the first of which was Susie Campbell, who became a twisted version of Alice Angel. He would also sacrifice music director Sammy Lawrence, projectionist Norman Polk, theme park designer Bertrum Piedmont, and others. Eventually, however, Joey Drew Studios fell into bankruptcy, and the monsters created by the Ink Machine were trapped within the Ink Machine itself in a never-ending cycle. The Ink Demon himself would rule over the cycle, killing anyone who crosses his path. He resided within a giant Ink Machine within the depths of the building, amidst a throne of projections playing Bendy cartoons. Upon this throne sat a film reel called "THE END", which when played, would destroy him. his skin is made out of ink and horns
